MFA for CFS Recommendation
ITS is recommending to implement a Two-Step Authentication process to campus users with access to CFS before it becomes a requirement, and prevent any possible interruption on their access to CFS. Dr. Javier Torner provided background and rationale along with a timeline describing the recommended three phases for implementation—
· Phase I: Identification of all campus users who have access to CFS
· Phase II: Provide training and support on the use of the campus two-step authentication. Send email communication to CFS users providing information about two-step authentication
· Phase III: Enforcing two-step authentication for identified user. Activate two-step authentication for CFS users
The Executive Committee voted to approve this recommendation and move forward.
